About Me

Shy and quiet in general but alright once I get to know people, part time musician, some time indie DJ and basically passionate about music. I like to help people discover bands they might not have heard before.I like to help people in general and to be useful. If I have done something well I like someone to notice and tell me.I am good at remembering facts, figures and faces and am often used as a kind of 'human internet' by other people who want to know certain things. I also like quizzes.This is one of the songs I have made / played and made a video for it.

My Interests

Listening to music (see list)

Going out - gigs and Boro indie clubs, Arena, Empire, Cornerhouse etc.... Sometimes even to York and Newcastle.
